Was there a particular component that struck a chord with your class?
The "Charging Station" activity struck a deep chord with my class. Students enjoyed creating their personalized stations and appreciated the metaphor of recharging their emotional batteries. This activity helped them visualize resilience as a dynamic, ongoing process, which many of them referenced in subsequent discussions. It also encouraged students to think critically about the activities, people, and habits that contribute positively to their well-being.

Building on self awareness

How impactful were the Dove Self Esteem project videos for students?

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners?
The lasting legacy of the Self Confidence Kit will be the awareness and tools it has given students to manage their personal resilience. They now have a shared vocabulary to discuss emotions, stress, and support systems, which will serve them beyond the classroom. The daily check-in practice is something many students have expressed a desire to continue, even outside of school. Additionally, the emphasis on recognising and respecting individual differences in resilience will likely shape how they approach relationships in the future.
